That hasn't been my experience with any V-10 powered vehicle. When pulling our old 5th wheel I'd find myself passing people going up mountains. (The Truck + 5er scaled out at 15,000+ lbs.)

Even with the Axis pulling one of our cars I haven't had any issues keeping pace with traffic.

Granted the only mountains we've crossed with our campers are the Smokies and not the huge ones out west.

There is a really nasty climb going South on I-75 at the OH/KY border that none of our V-10s have had a problem with.
